Infra Co Africa

About

InfraCo Africa seeks to alleviate poverty by mobilising investment into sub-Saharan infrastructure projects. We do this by funding teams of experienced project developers or by investing directly into projects which need the financial commitment and leverage that InfraCo Africa can bring. Our support reduces the risks and costs associated with early stage project development, ensuring that a project develops from concept to bankable investment opportunity. InfraCo Africa is part of the Private Infrastructure Development Group (PIDG). Established in 2004, we are managed as a private company although funded by the governments of Austria, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the UK. In 2015 we committed a total of US$36m to develop five renewable energy projects across sub-Saharan Africa. We also secured a further tranche of funding and are now seeking new projects that fit within our mandate or new developers that we can partner with on a one-off or portfolio basis.
